The Apothecary Diaries might be a realistic period piece without a complex power system like more popular series, but it features what truly matters.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning: The following contains spoilers for The Apothecary Diaries episode 4!The first four episodes of The Apothecary Diaries on Crunchyroll has clearly established that the series is an episodic historical piece with no supernatural abilities, but still explores a number of interesting topics and events.
However, Crunchyroll's The Apothecary Diaries follows a similar formula to many other shonen and seinen series, in that the hero possesses special skill sets that position her apart from her peers and that put her in situations that force her to employ them in new, exciting ways. Maomao is a captured servant girl whose knowledge and proficiency in the medicinal arts exceed that of nobles within the same profession to such an extent that she serves royals directly.
The Apothecary Diaries Grows in Complexity Early On Each episode so far has explored maladies that Maomao is tasked to remedy as a servant apothecary. She initially solves an illness affecting the Emperor's concubines before becoming an official food tester for one of them to ensure her meals are safe. This quickly evolves to Maomao solving another mystery afflicting the kingdom's soldiers before being asked to concoct an aphrodisiac for a high-ranking official.
The fourth and latest episode is, while its own separate malady, would appeal to most anime-goers as it is a continuance of the first affliction that was explored in episode 1, creating the allusion to a much larger, grander story like most anime.
The Apothecary Diaries Has Everything Anime Fans Want Anime fans who have difficulty with period pieces lacking any supernatural elements can take heart in The Apothecary Diaries' can make the series harder to get into, but the show has proven itself to be more than worth a watch.
